Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006030093A1] The invention relates to a device for producing a milk emulsion, comprising: a steam injection conduit (10), a milk conduit (15), an air conduit (16) which opens into a suction chamber (3), and an air control element (25) which is designed to adjust the air flow passing through the air conduit. The inventive device also comprises a tubular segment (14) having an outer surface (24) at which the air conduit (16) opens. The air control element (25) comprises first and second sealing means (29, 30) which are provided on said outer surface (24). In addition, the air control element (25) can move between (i) a cappuccino position in which the opening (22) of the air conduit (16) is communicated with the atmosphere and (ii) a hot milk position in which the first and second sealing means define a sealed space containing the air conduit opening. The invention also relates to a coffee machine comprising one such device.
